The life of the Founder and Leader of “Walk for Mahama tour” Mr. Prosper Aflamevu is in danger after hot water was poured on him yesterday while on a campaign tour at Nakundo in the Yendi constituency of the Northern Region.

He told Accra-based Rainbow Radio that he was in the community where the NDC lost their seats in the 2012 elections which includes the Yendi constituency, while talking to three women and their children at a house in Nakundo he sensed he was not welcome when the husband of one of the women refused to respond to his (Prosper) greetings.

He said some minutes later he saw the man coming menacingly towards him with a container. The women shouted for him to run but by the time he could react, hot water was poured on him, peeling off his skin.

He lamented about the unfair treatment given him by most party officials including the NDC Regional chairman, Sofo Azorka and the regional minister, Hon. Abdalla Abubakari, saying he is denied basics like party souvenirs.

The “Walk for Mahama tour” began earlier this year when he walked from Tamale in the northern region to Kintampo in the Brong Ahafo region and now walking from constituency to constituency in the Northern region to canvas votes for President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC.
